Can You Feel the Beat: The Lisa Lisa Story

The fully authorized biopic tells the story of global phenomenon, Lisa Lisa (Jearnest Corchado) who paved the way for artists like Selena and Jennifer Lopez to shine. As a 15-year-old Puerto Rican girl from Hell's Kitchen, Lisa Velez endured sexism, racism and hid her breast cancer diagnosis to become the first Latina artist to hit multiple music Billboard charts including songs "Can You Feel The Beat," "All Cried Out," and "Lost in Emotion." Lisa's constant companion through her tumultuous ride to the top was her best friend and backup singer, Toni Menage (Bre-Z). Toni's unwavering support helped Lisa learn how to take control of her professional and personal life. This true-life story of two best friends who refused to allow themselves to be destroyed by the entertainment business is filled with twists and turns and ends triumphantly as the two refused to give up on their dreams.
